Objective By previous overview of patients treated in our hospital, this study highlights on the intervention effects of TCM treating principle of regulating liver Qi and tonifying kidney Yin on the adverse reaction of TAM on breast cancer patients in post surgery. Methods Perspective study with the measures of randomization, and paralleling and synchronization control was conducted in the research. Results symptoms such as flush, insomnia, night sweat, palpitation, depression and heat sensation in the chest, palms and soles were improved significantly; while manifestations such as nausea, vomiting, irregular menstruation, bitter taste and dry mouth showed no significant changes. QOL changed significantly. Conclusion The application of treating principle of regulating liver Qi and tonifying kidney Yin is effective in reducing side effects caused by TAM. This result further improved the theory of TCM that the nature of liver is active, although the liver belongs to Yin in physique and but Yang in function.

Objective The prospective study was trying to explore the altering tendency of plasma concentration of E2, P and PAS after TCM intervention for post-surgery breast cancer patient who received endocrine therapy (tamoxifen).Methods By randomization, parallel, coincidence measures and the lab. technologies of AXSYM registered at Abbott lab. in the USA, plasma concentration of E2, P and FAS were tested before and after treatment. Results The results of biochemical test of plasma E2, P and FAS concentration of the two arms showed no significance difference before and after the intervention,indicating the side effects relating to TAM had nothing to do with plasma E2, P and FAS level. Conclusion It could be predicable that there must be some other by-pass ways initiating breast cancer rather than the way directly altering the level of plasma concentration of E2, P and FAS.

Objective To analyze the clinical results and risk factors according to cause-specific survival and local recurrence rates for the patients with Ⅰ-Ⅱstage breast cancer after breast conservative therapy(BCT).Methods During Jun.1988 to Jun.2005,304 patients with Ⅰ-Ⅱstage breast cancer in the General Hospital of PLA underwent lumpectomy,axillary lymph node dissection and definitive irradiation.All patients received adjuvant chemotherapy.The patients with positive estrogen hormone receptors received orally tamoxifen administration.The median follow up was 8.1 years.Results For all the patients,the total 5-year survival rate,cause-specific survival rate and local recurrence-free survival rate were 92.58%,93.46% and 86.26%,respectively.And the total 10-year overall survival rate,cause-specific survival rate and local recurrence-free survival rate were 85.29%,88.27% and 77.75%,respectively.The 5-year and 10-year local recurrence rates were 5.5% and 11.7%,respectively.The univariate and mutivariate analyses revealed that the age(4)were the risk factors according to cause-specific survival rates.The age(

The connotation and extension of the acupuncture changes along with the development of science and technology. Working out the principle on the connotation and extension of acupuncture at present will contribute to better inherit and development of acupuncture. In this paper, through literature analysis, the study on the process of formation and development of acupuncture, we believe connotation of acupuncture and moxibustion mainly include the basic theory of TCM, meridians theory, diagnosis, techniques, clinics, and literatures of acupuncture and moxibustion;and its extension include basic integrated medicine of acupuncture and moxibustion, physiology, pathology, and theories, techniques and clinics derived from modern science.

ObjectiveTo compare clinical and laboratory outcomes of in vitro maturation (IVM) with in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in treatment of infertility associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).MethodsFrom Jan.2007 to Dec.2010,infertile patients with PCOS underwent 701 cycles in First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College were studied retrospectively.Those were divided into 293 cycles of IVM group and 408 cycles of IVF/intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection ( ICSI ) group.The average transplantation rate,mean number of retrieval oocytes,maturation rate,fertilization rate,cleavage rate,high quality embryo rate,embryo implantation rate,pregnancy rate per transfer,pregnancy outcomes and incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) of the two methods of treatment were compared between two groups.ResultsThere were 275 cycles in IVM group and 342 cycles in IVF/ICSI group established embryo transfer.The transplantation rate was 93.9％(275/293)in IVM group and 83.8％ (342/408) in IVF/ICSI,which reached statistical difference (P ＜ 0.01 ).The maturation rate of 56.64％,cleavage rate of 88.08％,high quality embryo rate of 38.72％ and embryo implantation rate of 17.8％ in IVM group were significantly lower than 91.09％,94.91％,51.50％ and 25.4％ in IVF/ICSI group (all P ＜ 0.01 ).The clinical pregnancy rate per transfer were 37.8％ (104/275) in IVM group and 44.2％ (151/342) in IVF/ICSI group,which did not show statistical difference (P＞0.05).The mean number of oocytes ( 12.9 ±6.5 vs.12.9 ±7.9) and fertilization rate (76.52％ vs.70.75％ ) didn't show significant difference between IVM group and IVF/ICSI group ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The 21.3％ ( 87/408 ) cycles presented mild to moderate OHSS and 2.0％cycles(8/408)presented severe OHSS in IVF/ICSI group.While,no OHSS cycles were observed in IVM group.Conclusion IVM could get similar clinical pregnancy rates compared with IVF/ICSI in patient with PCOS,however,it can avoid occurrence of OHSS.

Objective To compare the outcomes of in-vitro maturation (IVM) and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) after early follicular phase gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a)down-regulation in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods From July 2010 to December 2012,72 infertile patients with PCOS undergoing assisted reproductive technology treatment in the Affiliated First Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were enrolled in this study.The patients were divided into 2 groups,which were patients with early follieular phase down-regulation IVM (36 cases) at IVM group and early follicular phase down-regulation long protocol IVF (36 cases) at IVF group.The laboratory parameters and clinical outcomes were compared between two groups.Results (1) Lab parameters:a total of 442 oocytes were retrieved in group IVM,and 560 were in group IVF.The rate of mature oocytes of 83.8％ (469/560) and high-quality embryos of 70.9％ (212/299) at group IVF were significantly higher than that of group IVM [54.1％ (239/442) and 50.7％ (73/144),retrospectively,P ＜0.01].In group IVM,the average duration of gonadotropin (Gn) was (2.8 ± 1.5) days and the average dosage of Gn was (285 ± 169) U,which were significantly lower than (11.0 ± 1.0) days and (1499 ±165) U in group IVF (P ＜0.01).The mean number of oocytes retrieved 12.8 ± 2.5,fertilization rate of 64.8％ (155/239),and implantation rate of 31％ (23/74) in group IVM and 15.6 ±3.1,65.5％ (307/469),31％ (23/74) in group IVF,which did not reach statistical difference (P ＞0.05).(2) Clinical outcomes:the clinical pregnancy rate (17/31,55％) of IVF group was not significantly higher than that 44％ (14/32) at IVM group (P ＞ 0.05).The abortion rate was 1/17 at Group IVF and 1/14 in group IVM,which did not show statistical difference.Women at IVM group has no ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome (OHSS) cycle,group IVF has 31％ (11/36) cycles presented moderate and severe OHSS.Conclusions Infertile patients with PCOS undergoing IVM and IVF treatment after early follicular phase GnRH-a down-regulation can get satisfactory laboratory and clinical outcome.In addition to short treatment cycle,IVM can also avoid the occurrence of OHSS completely,but it has a rising trend in the abortion rate.IVF has a high incidence of OHSS,meanwhile,it increases the dosage of gonadotropins.

Objective To investigate clinical effect of in vitro maturation(IVM)of immature oocytes transferred from conventional in vitro fertilization embryo transfer(IVF-ET) cycles.Methods From January 2008 to June 2009.medical documents of 155 infertile patients underwent IVF-ET in the Reproductive Medical Center of Fimt Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College were analyzed retrospectively.If more than 20 oocytes were monitored after 5-7 days of ovulation induction or follicular developmental retardation were confirmed after 8-13 days of ovulation induction.according to patients' wish,IVM were transferred in 60 cycles(group A).In the mean time.IVF was continued in 95 cycles (group B).The mean dosage of gonadotropin,the cancel lation rate of cycles,the mean numbers of oocytes retrieved and maturation,the rate of fertilization and excellent quality embryos.pregnancy outcome and the incidence rate of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome(OHSS)were compared and analyzed.Results The rates of embryo transfer were 92%(55/60)in group A and 63%(60/95)in group B,which showed significant differences (P<0.05).In group A,the mean dosage of the gonadotropin,the mean number of oocytes retrieved,the cleavage rate and OHSS rate were(1030±468)U,10±6,82.2%(231/281)and O,and were(1544±338)U,14±4,94.0%(502/534)and 35%(21/60)in group B,respectively,all data abeve exhibited statistieal difference between two groups(P<0.05).However,the rates of fertilization and excellent quality embryos had no significant differences between two groups(P>0.05).In group A,the rate of clinical pregnancy per transfer was 53%(29/55)and multiple pregnancy was 14%(4/29),and were 47%(28/60) and 32%(9/28)in group B,they all had no significant differences (P>0.05).Conclusion IVM of immature oocytes used in conventional IVF cycles not only obtained a high clinical pregnancy rate,but also reduced gonadotropin using dosage and avoided OHSS completely.

AIM:To investigate the role of anti-miR-21 oligonucleotide ( AMO) in the anti-leukemic activity of decitabine (DCA) in vitro.METHODS:AMO and scramble oligonucleotide (SCR) were constructed and transfected into HL-60 cells.The miR-21 expression was analyzed by real-time PCR to identify the transfection efficiency .The cells were treated with DCA at gradient concentrations (0.5, 2.0 and 4.0 μmol/L) for 48 h.The mRNA expression of human period circadian protein 3 (hPer3) was detected by real-time PCR.The early apoptotic rates were determined by flow cy-tometry with Annexin V/PI staining.Mean fluorescence intensities ( MFI) of CD117 and CD11b were also measured by flow cytometry.RESULTS:The miR-21 relative expression level in AMO group was significantly lower than that in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01).IC50 of DCA in AMO group was significantly lower than that in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01).With the same concentration of DCA, the early apoptotic rate, the mRNA expression of hPer3 and the MFI of CD11b in AMO group were significantly higher than those in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01).The MFI of CD117 in AMO group were significantly lower than those in blank group and SCR group ( P<0.01 ) .CONCLUSION:Activation of hPer3 expression plays an important role in enhanced anti-leukemic activity of decitabine by AMO in vitro.

Objective To analysis the incidence and management of monozygotic twin (MZT) conceived by assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical pregnancies and MZT that resulted from ART was performed in Reproductive Medical Center,the First Affiliated Hospital,Wenzhou Medical University between January 2011 and January 2014. Results A total of 5 908 pregnancies were diagnosed: 2 012 twins, 157 high-order multiple pregnancy (HOMP), including 4 quadruplets. Overall, 51 MZT pregnancies were identified of them including 32 cases HOMP and 19 cases MZT. The incidence of MZT resulting from cleavage-stage embryo transfer was similar to blastocyst transfer (P=0.960). The percent of MZT resulting from in vitro fertilization [0.93% (28/3 022)], frozen-thawed embryo transfer [0.87% (13/1 502)] and intracytoplamic sperm injection [0.72% (10/1 384)] did not show statistical significance (P=0.794). The expectantly managed MZT was associated with a significantly greater likelihood of miscarriage [6/19 vs 5.11% (101/1 976)], and low birth weight infant [73.91% (17/23) vs 42.89% (1 453/3 388), P<0.01], when compared with dizygotic twin (DZT) did not undergo selective embryo reduction(SER). In monozygotic (MZ)-triplets with SER to 2 fetuses or to 1 fetus, there was no cases of preterm birth or low birth weight infant observed in MZ-triplets with SER to 1 fetus;when compared with MZ-triplets with SER to 2 fetuses, the low birth weight infant [56.00% (14/25), P=0.021] has statistical significance. The likelihood of the survival of two babies was lower in MZ-triplets with SER to 2 fetuses when compared with non-MZ triplets with SER to 2 fetuses [42.86%(9/21)vs 75.21%(91/121), P=0.003]. Conclusions The incidence of MZT pregnancies following ART is high. It plays a significant role in the occurrence of HOMP. MZT pregnancies are at an increased risk of adverse outcomes , it should transform to a single embryo thansfer (SET) program to reduce them incideuce. Reduction of MZT contained in multiple pregnancies appears to be a safe option.

Objective To compare the laboratory and clinical results between unstimulated in vitro maturation (IVM) and IVM converted from in vitro fertilization (IVF) in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and non-PCOS patients.Methods We divided 591 IVM cycles in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical Univesity from Jan.2008 to Dec.2013 into 4 groups:group A1B1,PCOS patients underwent unstimulated IVM protocol,240 cycles; group A1B2,PCOS patients underwent IVM converted from conventional stimulated IVF protocol,153 cycles; group A2B1,non-PCOS patients underwent unstimutlated IVM protocol,103 cycles; group A2B2,non-PCOS patient underwent IVM converted from conventional stimulated IVF protocol,95 cycles.Multiple linear regression method and binary logistic regression method were used to assess the influence of PCOS and protocols for IVM on laboratory and clinical outcomes.Results The mean number of oocytes retrieved was positively related with PCOS [partial regression coefficient (B)=3.37,P＜0.01].The maturation rate of oocytes was positively related with hCG-prime prior to oocyte aspiration (B=0.05,P=0.010).High-quality embryo rate was positively related with PCOS and IVM converted from IVF (B=0.08,P=0.010; B=0.09,P=0.001),as well as implantation rate related with them (B=0.07,P=0.010; B=0.10,P＜0.01).PCOS and IVM converted from IVF improved hCG positive (hCG＞10 U/L) rate (OR=1.636,95％CI:1.113-2.204,P＜0.05; OR=1.861,95％CI:1.307-2.649,P＜0.05) and the clinical pregnancy rate (OR=1.507,95％CI:1.041-2.240,P＜0.05; OR=1.881,95％CI:1.312-2.696,P＜0.05).IVM converted from IVF protocol decreased the spontaneous abortion rate (OR=0.490,95％CI:0.245-0.978,P＜0.05).Multiple gestation rate and ectopic pregnancy rate were not affected by PCOS condition and protocol used (P＞0.05).Conclusions PCOS and IVM converted from IVF protocol improved the high-quality embryo rate,implantation rate,hCG positive rate and clinical pregnancy rate.IVM converted from IVF protocol reduced the spontaneous abortion rate.PCOS patients may be more suitable for the IVM treatment.No matter PCOS or non-PCOS patients,IVM converted from IVF protocol had better pregnancy outcome than that of unstimulated cycle.
